Domineering Daming

Some of this information came from Jin Yiwei, some came from Ryukyu, and most of it was confessed by Huashan Jiushou.

After a long while, Liu Wentian said, "Sir, this Kyushu is not only barren, but now the civilians and believers are revolting everywhere. It is simply another Southwest. Even if we occupy it, it will not do any good..."

Lai Daosheng also nodded, and said: "My lord, I think what Wen Tian said is right. There is absolutely no need for the Kyushu. If we really want to snatch it, I don't know how much we will invest. Your Majesty, the imperial court definitely doesn't want this..."

Cao Wenzhao was silent at the moment, Kyushu is very restless now, and there are civil disturbances everywhere, especially Shimabara of the Hizen Kingdom, which is now like a powder keg, and the surrounding princes are extremely vigilant and constantly moving. At this time, Daming is really not suitable to participate.

Liu Wentian, Lai Daosheng looked at Cao Wenzhao, waiting for him to make a decision.

No matter how you look at this Kyushu, it is not a good place, it is worse than the Southwest, it is not beneficial to occupy it, it is all trouble.

Cao Wenzhao did not expect such a situation, and said thoughtfully: "Jinyiwei has not done enough, and the intelligence collection has to rely on these Japanese people themselves. Hmm... first occupy the Satsuma domain as a base, Take it slowly."

"Obey!" Liu Wentian said, coming to Zongzong.

After Cao Wenzhao finished speaking, he took out a series of memorials from the box on one side, which he wanted to present to Zhu Xu, because it was too far away, so he planned to send them together.

Turn it over and look at it, adjust a few points, and pick up the pen to write the playbook again.

The strategy for dealing with Ryukyu changed again, going round and round, and finally returned to Zhu Xu's original plan.

Chapter 728

Cao Wenzhao's fleet went north, Amami, and Osumi were not opponents. In fact, the Shimadzu family did not have many people stationed here.

The [-] troops of the Satsuma Camp and the Ryukyu Camp headed north all the way to Osumi Island, and then approached Kagoshima at lightning speed.

Iehisa Shimadzu, Hisaka Kawayama and others entangled 1000 people and blocked them with all their strength in Tsurumaru Castle.

Shimadzu's family, Huashan Jiugao's face was gloomy and terrifying, he never thought that Huashan Jiushu actually rebelled!

He was leaning on a cane, standing on the city wall, his old face was full of ferocity.

"I will definitely kill you! Kill everyone in the Huashan family!" Shimadzu Ieku roared while standing on the city wall, regardless of Huashan Hisaka standing beside him.

Tsurumaru Castle is now on alert for the whole city, and all the people are soldiers, and they are all on the top of the city, but there are only more than 1000 people at full strength.

Huashan Jiushou stood below, and said coldly: "Dadian, if you surrender and give Satsumashou to me, I will keep your Shimadzu family safe, otherwise your Shimadzu family will be destroyed if the city is destroyed!"

Shimadzu Jiahisa sneered, and said: "Depending on you? Why do you think I can gain a foothold in Satsuma? From Toyotomi Hideyoshi to Tokugawa Ieyasu until now? Even if you break through Tsurumaru Castle today, tomorrow the Gongfangdian will send an army to wipe it out. You! Arrogant!"

With the backing of the Ming Dynasty, Huashan Jiushou has completely ignored the Shimadzu family, and said loudly indifferently: "As long as I capture Tsurumaru Castle, nothing else needs to be said! I will give you another chance, otherwise the city will be destroyed." Destruction Clan!"

Shimadzu Iehisa's eyes were gloomy and he didn't speak. Kawayama Hisamori was obviously determined to plot rebellion.He has only 1000 men, Huashan Jiushou has [-], and [-] Ryukyu soldiers.No matter how you look at it, it is a losing battle.

Huashan Jiugao stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Main hall, as long as you last for half a day, reinforcements will arrive."

The reinforcements that Huashan Jiugao said are the soldiers and horses of the surrounding princes. The news has been sent out before Huashan Jiushou besieged Tsurumaru Castle, and they will support them soon.Although the relationship between the Shimadzu family and the neighbors is not very good, but under the weight of profit, there must be brave men!

Huashan Jiushu naturally knew, but he would not give the Shimadzu family a chance!

Holding a knife in his hand, he said angrily, "I'll give you one last shot, or you'll all die if the city breaks!" The "you" he said included his father, Huashan Jiugao.

Shimadzu's family waved their hands for a long time, and rows of spears appeared on the city, as well as swordsmen, archers and so on.

Huashan Jiushou gave a cold snort, waved his hands back, and then, under the watchful eyes of the defenders on Tsurumaru Castle, a dark, heavy cannon appeared in their field of vision.

"Is this the red-haired man's cannon?"

"It turns out that Huashan Jiushou is so bold because he took refuge in the red-haired man?"

"Is this long cannon powerful?"

There are crowds of people on the wall, all watching curiously.

Japan also has artillery, but because of certain relations, it has not been taken seriously. Instead, the firearms are very popular, and they are called "iron cannons".

Liu Wentian hid behind, looked at the city, and curled his lips secretly. Compared with the grand city of Daming, this place is more like a small steamed bun, built on the hillside, surrounded by airtight, It can only be attacked from the main entrance, and there is nothing else to do.

However, in front of the cannons of the Ming Dynasty, this thing is as fragile as tofu, vulnerable to a single blow.

"fire!"

The flag ordered the soldiers to wave the flag, and the soldiers behind the [-] cannons stepped forward to light the fire, and fired in unison.

Bang bang bang!

The green smoke was lingering, the sound of the cannons was thunderous, deafening, and the shells flew into the city.

"Get out of the way!"

The expressions of some experienced old warriors changed drastically, and they shouted loudly that they had already collapsed.

Many young warriors were at a loss, just avoiding instinctively.

Boom boom boom!

There were more than a dozen violent explosions, thick smoke billowing, and the entire Tsurumaru Castle was trembling and crumbling, as if it was about to fall apart.

Huashan was overjoyed after watching for a long time, and shouted again and again: "Fire, fire!"

Needless to say, the twenty cannons never stopped, firing into them again and again.

The face of Shimadzu's family who had just hid in the back changed drastically, and Huashan Jiugao also ran over, and said with a gloomy expression: "My lord, Huashan Jiushu must have colluded with the red-haired man, this cannon belongs to the red-haired man! "

The Shimadzu family panicked this time, and said coldly, "How long can we last?"

The two hid in a small room in the corner, and there was a deafening explosion outside, as if it was right above their heads.

Huashan Jiugao turned his head to look, and saw that the people were being bombed beyond recognition, and there were screams everywhere, and couldn't help frowning: "With this kind of bombing, it will take half an hour at most."

The Shimadzu family frowned deeply after hearing this for a long time. If things go on like this, their Shimadzu family must really be wiped out!

Shimadzu Iehisa is a scheming and calculating person. Although Kawayama Hisamori's rebellion was unexpected, he still has strength.

He turned his head and looked at Huashan Jiugao with a gloomy face and said: "Tell Huashan Jiushou that I will adopt him as my adopted son, and then I can retire and pass the throne to him, and ask him to open a way for us leave!"

Huashan Jiugao's expression turned cold, and he said, "My lord, no! In this way, he will definitely not let us go!"

The Shimadzu family snorted coldly, and said darkly: "If he won't let me go, I will issue a subjugation order, and he will never want to be a Satsuma guard. If I die today, he will die tomorrow!"

Huashan Jiugao understood, and asked people to raise a flag to shout.

Huashan Jiushou soon received Shimadzu's intention. He really didn't want to let Shimadzu go, but if he didn't let Shimadzu go, and Shimadzu issued a crusade order, his Satsuma would definitely not be able to sit easily. It may be that there will be big troubles on the shogunate, and it is even more likely that soldiers will come.

However, if the Shimadzu family accepted him as an adopted son for a long time and passed on the throne to him, it would save a lot of things.

He couldn't make up his mind and asked Liu Wentian for advice.
